A Good Job

So you work Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM and you can't wait for 5PM Friday so you won't have to think about work for the next two days.

What a tough life you lead. Nose to the grindstone and all that. I bet your boss is a real slave driver.

Well shutup! While you're home watching football or mowing the yard or playing kissy-face, I'm stuck here tearing down device drivers and trying to figure out why the tape drives for the nightly backups aren't working. See, when I do my job right, nobody notices. They get to go home at 5PM and sleep late on weekends. Meanwhile I'm trapped listening to droning of servers and trying to hear the chick on the other end of the phone who can't talk above a whisper.

If I screw up, everyone gets to stop by and tell me what a crumby job I did. So my job evaluation is only as good as the last project that didn't go as smoothly as some accountant thought. Well, bite me!

Fortunately my two immediate bosses realize what I do and how things could be if I didn't stay on top of things. You see, I figure it's my job to keep my bosses' boss of their back. If they don't get any crap from on high, then they won't share the "wealth" and give me any crap.

Well, another hour to go and these babies should be back in business.
Have a nice day.
